Rajnath said he has asked the home ministry officials to circulate an advisory in this regard.
The ministry of home affairs has also issued a helpline number for the people of Jammu and Kashmir living in other parts of the country
“I have come to know that there were a few incidents of misbehaviour towards Kashmiris in some places.

Reports from Rajasthan said tension prevailed in Chittorgarh on Wednesday when a group of locals clashed with a few Kashmiri students of Mewar university after they were allegedly called “stone pelters” and taunted over a video showing a CRPF jawan being heckled in the Kashmir Valley.
Also, hoardings asking Kashmiri students to leave Uttar Pradesh have appeared in Meerut.
